I own 1 hp 8600 running OI 151_09 I'd like to have a twin and shopping on ebay.
My current xw8600 came from ebay with 2x Xeon and 32 GB ram I'm not finding a ready made twin but see a few 2x Xeon xw8600's . What I don't feel confident about is how to ramp up the RAM. This particular offering: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-xw8600-WORKSTATION-2x-3-00GHz-QC-16GB-RAM-300GB-15K-HDD-NO-OS-/171363621469?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27e6115a5d Has only 16 GB ram. so what I'm shakey about is if I might hit a situation where instead of being able to add another 16 GB, it might turn out to be that all 8 slots are filled with 2gb sticks or something of that nature, so that I can't just add another 16 but would need to buy all 32GB in different sized sticks And in the specs it mentions something about a `riser' card that apparently can create room for more ram or something like that. I hoped some experienced kind soul here might be able to offer some expertise on how I would go about turning this machine into a 32 GB machine and maybe a void some stumbling blocks that can not anticipate. Maybe even a ball park guess at the extra cost. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
